Notes

'Noemie Demay' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Noemie Demay') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. Calot bred it in 1867. The full double, mauve rose flowers open in early to mid spring and have a pleasant fragrance. Stout stems hold the medium to large blooms.

Pairs well with Orange lily, Blue sage, Garlic chives, and Queen of Night tulip.
